What is our culture?

 
Bloomberg is the world's primary distributor of financial data and a top news provider. Our customers around the world rely on us to deliver accurate, real-time business and market information that helps them make important financial decisions. At Bloomberg, we are guided by four core values that are the foundation of our continued success: innovation, collaboration, customer service and doing the right thing.

What is Desktop Build Group?

The Desktop Build Group works closely with Bloomberg's Sales and Product departments to increase clients' dependency on our terminals by creating desktop solutions. Historically, our offerings revolved around our Excel APIs, however in the last few years the team has leaned towards a new, more powerful product: an internally developed Quant platform that combines Python, a programmatic language and the Bloomberg database.
On top of building solutions, Desktop Build Group influences the enhancement of the product and meets with major market players in finance to gather improvement insights. The projects and daily tasks vary over time: they include conquering market share by migrating client’s workflow from competitors to Bloomberg, building bespoke solutions to fill specific product gaps in the Terminal, or promoting the python Quant platform to clients.

What you will be doing?

Big data is one of the hottest topics in Finance. In this role, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your technical skills on our innovative tool, the python Quant platform. Candidates with SQL and Java skills will gain an overview of our worldwide activity (closed and upcoming deals) from a management perspective, when enhancing our Sales reporting dashboard.
